Also there can be different versions of Python installed
in different versions of MacOSX. So if you distribute an app
that relies on the system Python, at the least you have
to test it against all the Python versions it's likely to
encounter, and possibly provide different versions of the
app for different versions of MacOSX.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you use something
like py2app or py2exe, it doesn't include the whole Python
distribution, just the stdlib modules the app actually uses.
So it's not as bad as including a whole Python installation
for every app.
